Trubental 0 - 0 Nord-Ost (368924725)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 18070 to Trubental-Arena. Geert-Marthé Alderlieste was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Johnny Workel and Reinhardt Stuber. Trubental decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: De Falco - Délaigue, Feiken, Wehrshausen - Kor, Dobrowolski, Bauche, Leitzmann, Terze - Hocke, Zornhausen.

Nord-Ost tactics involved an interesting 5-5-0 combination. The following players had been chosen: Mattesini - Grabarczyk, Manzano López, Rampone, Olmedo Ramos, Sliunkovas - Elçibəy, Polizzi, Kerachev, Järvinen, Mahlambeni -.

Trubental mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Nord-Ost were determined to use their long shot ability. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave J. Zornhausen from Trubental a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 10 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! F. Wehrshausen enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. 26 minutes in, Nord-Ost's T. Mahlambeni received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The cannonball from 35 metres by M. Dobrowolski of Trubental was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Trubental, with 67 percent of the ball.

J. Manzano López received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 83 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. Trubental had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

J. Zornhausen performed admirably for Trubental. However, A. De Falco made a disastrous appearance. Nord-Ost's top performer was clearly S. Mattesini. T. Mahlambeni was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
